<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Chatswood

The Chatswood retail space, home to the former Fook Yuen Seafood Restaurant, has been listed for lease.
It is billed as unlocking a premier business opportunity in one of the North Shore’s most enviable locations. 
Fook Yuen, a Chatswood institution for more than three decades, closed its doors to its podium level restaurant at 7 Help Street in October last year. 
CBRE agents Amy Pfeiffer and James Beerworth have been appointed to lease the 941sqm space.
It is located inside the nine-storey building at the junction of Help and Railway streets.
"This high profile space could suit a large scale food &amp; beverage operation, fitness or education facility, medical user or office,” Ms Pfeiffer said.  
The property is offered for lease with 10 security car spaces and a single lockup garage.
The commercial grade kitchen has existing connections to grease and exhaust extraction, making it suitable as a future hospitality operation. 
“With an influx of restaurant operators from Sydney’s Chinatown looking to break into the Chatswood market, we expect there will be competitive interest in the offering,” Ms Pfeiffer added.

The Sydney developer Develotek is selling a 5420sq m Chatswood site with $250 million hopes.
The site includes houses at 51-61 Archer Street, 30-32A Bertram Street and 34 Albert Avenue.
Knight Frank are handling second-round expressions of interest, with a likely deal to be closed by January, according to Fairfax Media.
It is being marketed as "The Bertram", with the prospect of 400 apartments in a 90-metre tower. There is a heritage cottage which will be restored.
Develotek, which has a history of door-knocking owners of private properties to put together large residential sites, amalgamated 38 properties in 2015 for a proposed 700 apartments at Granville.
It is understood Develotek has options over the privately owned Chatswood properties, eight houses and 12 townhouses.

Colliers International and Cadigal Leasing have backfilled 6,000 sqm of office space in Chatswood, as vacancy rates in the area continue to decline.
The office tower at <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-offices-nsw-chatswood-500228557" target="_blank">475 Victoria Ave Chatswood</a>, owned by Cromwell Property Group has been one of the most recent buildings to benefit from the lack of good quality stock on the North Shore.   
Lisa Treble, director of office leasing at Colliers International and Marcus Pratley of Cadigal office leasing, have successfully back filled the 6,000 sqm vacancy left by Leightons following their move to North Sydney.
The space has been filled with tenants including Pronovate, Filtered Media, Trend Wealth and Venita with rents of $535 per square meter net.
The leasing agents said “Chatswood is seen by tenants on the North Shore as a great business hub where there is no disruption on the streets from developments. Tenants are drawn to this location as it is well equipped with the large retail precinct so close to the CBD core.”
Chatswood will continue to attract tenants whilst the surrounding office markets are continuing to undergo major developments. A large take up of office space from tenants will likely cause vacancy rates in the area to drop once again.
Chatswood will benefit greatly from the new Metro Rail line with the Chatswood to Rouse Hill section due to open 2019. This Metro station is the only one which has a direct access to the Train line without having to leave the immediate station to cross over with different transport links.
Chatswood also benefits from the large parking ratios and ease to get in and out of with it being such central catchment area for staff.

A freehold building in the heart of the Chatswood CBD is about to go under the hammer, bringing with it, a boutique redevelopment opportunity.
The <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-retail-nsw-chatswood-502565362" target="_blank">503 Victoria Avenue</a> property is a two-storey commercial building that offers 225 sqm of floor area on a 428 sqm site.
The property is surrounded by a mix of retail and commercial premises. 
The building is being offered with vacant possession coupled with planning controls that allow for future commercial, hotel accommodation, child care, medical, serviced apartments or entertainment or educational purposes subject to council approval.
It was previously utilised as a medical centre.
It has three access points and the flexibility to operate with two separate tenancies, according to the listing agents from Savills and Knight Frank.
The listing agents are David Hickey and Tim Grosmann of Savills Australia and Linda Zhu and Dominic Ong of Knight Frank.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/09/25/ChatswoodNew2.jpg" alt="">
This is the third freehold property in the Chatswood CBD that has been publicly offered since 2015 in the below $15 million category.
“The site is favourably zoned B3 – Commercial Core allowing for commercial use, with a height limit of 90 metre and maximum FSR of 5:1. The redevelopment potential for this property could yield (2,140 sqm) in potential Gross Floor Area (STCA) under the existing planning controls,” said Hickey from Savills.
In addition, two major shopping centres Westfield Chatswood and Chatswood Chase are close.
With some 164,000 sqm of retail space, the Chatswood CBD is one of the strongest retailing locations in Australia, said Hickey.
Both investors and developers could be attracted to the property, said Linda Zhu of Knight Frank.
“The close proximity to the Sydney CBD and retail offerings within Chatswood make this a very attractive prospect for investors and developers alike.” 
The auction is scheduled for October 26.

Developer Mayrin Group has purchased a site in Sydney’s North Shore for more than $35 million through Savills Australia.
The site features nine individual residences and spans 6,778sqm.
The site, 130-138 Archer Road and 10a, 12 and 14 Boundary Street in Roseville is 600 metres from the Chatswood Business District.
William Wu, the Director of Mayrin Group said the site has two street frontages, will provide more than 40 townhouses.
 "This rare, medium-density product will reshape and lead the local market which is dominated predominantly by apartments and houses," he said.
The site boasts an 80.63 metre street frontage along Archer Street and an 87.3 metre frontage along Boundary Street. 
According to Stuart Cox, Director of Residential Site Sales at Savills, Roseville is a hotly contested Lower North Shore suburb with very few opportunities to acquire a property of this unique size. 
“This is one of the largest land holdings sold to date on the North Shore," he said.
"The site is zoned R3 Medium Density Residential, which lends itself to a premium grade, low-rise residential flat building development or prestigious townhouse development.
"There are currently no premium townhouses for sale ‘off the plan’ in the whole suburb."

Office vacancy in Sydney's Chatswood is expected to increase throughout 2017 as a number of whole floor opportunities enter the market, according to Colliers International’s latest Metro Office report.
It noted Leighton vacated 799 Pacific Highway and Lendlease will be relocating to Barangaroo from The Zenith.
Vacancy has already increased from 6.6 per cent to 7.7 per cent in the six months to January 2017 with negative net absorption of -3,310 sqm.
"As a result we expect incentives to remain stable throughout 2017,” the report stated.
A Grade property rents have increased slightly over the last six months, Colliers says.
“In the six months to March 2017 average A Grade net face rents increased marginally at 1.5 per cent settling at $510 per sqm, while incentives increased from 24 per cent to 25 per cent as a result of increased vacancy.
"We expect to see owners splitting floors and offering speculative fit-outs to drive demand in the sub 500 sqm range as heightened competition remains for whole floor space. The Zenith is already seeing success with this strategy,” the report said.

Hume Property Pty Ltd, formerly known as Bennelong Group, is offering its dual tower property in the heart of Sydney’s Chatswood for sale.
The decision, in part, was driven by the recent release of the new draft masterplan encouraging greater development in Chatswood and the sustained strong rental growth and increasing offshore purchaser interest in the precinct. 
Chatswood Central, at 1 – 5 Railway Street, is being offered to the market by way of expression of interest closing on March 30.
The listing agents are Jon Chomley and Steam Leung of Colliers International and Bevan Kenny and Chris Veitch of CI Australia.
The two, 12-storey towers are joined by the retail plaza, which provides a range of cafes and restaurants, a gymnasium and a childcare. Overall the buildings contain over 18,000 sqm of office and retail accommodation, with 100 basement carparks, and a strong mix of income from different sources.
The amenities in the Chatswood CBD have proven to be a strong drawcard for tenants, resulting in the property enjoying consistently high occupancy rates and a strong cash flow, according to a media release.
“Chatswood has been the beneficiary of strong rental growth over the last 3 years and this looks set to continue with the removal of suburban office space from the market for residential development. This in turn has reduced supply, particularly in B grade office space, and has bolstered rental growth,” said Jon Chomley.
The site adjoins the entry to the Chatswood Bus and Rail Interchange and is close to Westfield Chatswood and Chatswood Chase shopping centres. 
Hume has owned the property for over 10 years and has upgraded the plaza area, the lifts and the air-conditioning.
The site spans 3,806 sqm providing future development opportunities as it is underdeveloped under the current Masterplan for Chatswood, according to the listing agents.
“Whilst it will take time for any proposed redevelopment the building enjoys virtually full occupancy with strong effective rental growth and the improving property fundamentals of the Chatswood market,” said Bevan Kenny.
The site is currently leasehold from the Rail Corp, however, Hume has been in dialogue with RailCorp and there is a known pathway to either extend the ground lease term or freehold the property.
